Theoretically yes, the XFree driver modules could be loaded by a generic DirectFB driver that makes the XFree drivers think they run in X. But the compatibility layer would be very big and without a native framebuffer driver it would have to use /dev/mem (like XFree) to access the board. Besides that XAA only provides a few DirectFB operations like solid rectangles or screen-to-screen blits. I don't know much about XAAs offscreen capabilities, but having acceleration only in the front buffer of the primary layer (i.e. at the beginning of the framebuffer) wouldn't be sufficient. I would spend more time on thinking how DRI could be integrated without too much patching/porting efforts when newer versions of drivers or DRI itself appear. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
